So far I'm loving it. Got it all set up and transferred over my iTunes library and got my phone and iPad synced up with it. Started going through the Mac software thread to get some of the things I need to really start enjoying it.

Absolutely perfect for a portable PC and does everything I need. Should be good for years to come and goes well with a decent Windows desktop. Might change to an Air when it needs to be updated, but don'y know if I can go without some of the features. But as I said, I expect this laptop to last a long while.

Yesterday I purchased my first Mac:

13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011)

2.7GHz Core i7

4Gb DDR3 1333MHz

500Gb HDD

Intel HD3000 integrated graphics

Snow Leopard

I don't think I have ever been more excited to receive a delivery :D

So many of my CompSci lecturers use Macs, as do a couple of my friends - so I decided to see what all the fuss is about. Something tells me I won't be disappointed. With education pricing I saved a huge amount on AppleCare and the machine itself. Very happy :)

I know it's interesting to show off you're already running Mac OS X Lion, but do you really think it's a wise idea to publicly post your MacBook Pro's serial number like that? :whistle:

Thanks .Neo!

Changed :)

Primarily a Windows PC user these days but do still have a Mac kicking around - switched over to it for a few weeks whilst I get my PC power supply RMA'd with OCZ. Spec is:

PowerMac Dual G5 2GHz

5GB RAM

160GB Seagate 7200RPM HDD

Radeon 9800Pro

Running Leopard 10.5.8..

It's kind of funny how slow this thing actually is given the meaty sounding specs - the fans spin up quite often to cool it, even though you're doing quite light / non-intensive tasks. But it's this or my little NetBook with only 1GB of RAM - so I think this is a better bet for now :)

    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
